First off, I have searched and read around this forum about a few things, but I know I've just made a mess of my settings, that seemingly work, but I know I am overdoing it..so I want to ask an opinion of people here, at least the ones who know all about settings and what not. So, to start, yes I've downloaded the latest 0.9.7 beta and plugins that came with it.
Now my specs, since this will be important too of course:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 2.10GHZ
Ram: 4.00GB
64 bit operating system, Windows 7 ultimate
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 256MB
Now I know the processor sucks, but I can play most PS2 games decently, I've been mostly playing FFX right now, it's ripped from my own disc, in iso form.
I've been playing the game well with an average of 50-58FPS or so, I hit 60 rarely but whenever I cast a spell and what not, it will dip to about 48 to 53 or so in the range. It gets bad in some areas depending on the action on screen. (Surprisingly Blitzball runs at 60FPS mostly the whole game lol)
ANYWAY, my point is, I have no idea what I'm doing with my settings, I've just turned a bunch of things on and off, and noticed I've come out with decent gameplay.
However I know I'm overdoing it with the speed hacks, but I don't know which ones I should turn off without a hit to my FPS. I know I could just turn off and on but that would take a long time and a lot of experimenting, and usually I cannot tell which ones are doing anything or nothing at all.. So I ask for help, looking at my settings, what should I turn off and on?
Yes I realize I have all speed hacks on, but hell it's been running fine with no crashes and such, FMV bug out at times but I've seen them all before anyway. Thus why am asking which ones are most likely doing nothing for Final Fantasy X. And I have VU's and stuff set to none because I could care less how it looks graphically, I care about speed mostly.
PS: Sorry for the long wall of text there, but I'm very noobish and I wanted to make my case clear and give all the basic info I could.
